About this map

Sulphur Springs Valley and the San Simon Valley dominate this High Desert landscape, framed by the dramatic elevations of the Dos Cabezas Mountains and the northern reaches of the Chiricahua Mountains. At the heart of the basin lies the Willcox Playa, containing the Willcox Dry Lake and its associated Willcox Bombing Range. This area reflects a complex layering of land use, from the agricultural pockets of the Kansas Settlement to the protected wilderness of Chiricahua National Monument.

The transportation corridor is defined by the Southern Pacific railroad and major highways that connect Willcox to Bowie and San Simon near the Arizona and New Mexico border. Military and historical significance is evident at the Fort Bowie National Historic Site, while the terrain is marked by numerous draws and gulches like Fisher Hills Draw and Gold Gulch, which funnel seasonal runoff toward the valley floors.
